Mercury QTP

    Does anyone know where I can get a trial version of Mercury QTP or another package which allows me to record simple data entry and mouse clicks. I am trying to replicate a bug but I need to be able to run a sequence of about 5 mouseclicks and 1 numeric entry about 250 times so if I could have it running in the background it would save me a lot of time.

    Cheers,

    Mark.

    What you want to download is HP Functional Testing 11.00 Evaluation. You must register to download this software however at https://h10078.www1.hp.com/cda/hpdc/display/main/index.jsp?zn=bto&cp=54_4012_100__ & expect sales calls. Would it not make more sense to use something like junit / Ruby On Rails for a one off test?

    If your not a programmer I dunno about using QTP. To do anything useful in it the recorder isnt much good tbh, no better than the recorder that apple ship with their machines by default. To really gain benefit you must manually write vbscripts to control the operation but you must also set up methods for storing your info etc.
    What language is the app written in? Is it browser based or a client side app?

    Its a browser. Its quite a simple test its just repetitive (200 times) but all it involved is clicking Deposit, clicking in the Amount field, entering in 22, clicking Deposit, waiting 7 seconds and clicking Close and then start at the beginning again.

    What about Selenium? It sounds just like what you need. I've used it in a few projects to automate front-end testing e.g. filling out web forms, pressing buttons and verifying that things look like they are supposed to.

    I would suggest using a tool like firebug to find out the ID's and object names of the objects you want to select and use a language such as junit or ruby on rails for running the test. Personally I think that using QTP would be a mammoth task for such a small job!

    Selenium IDE – add on for Firefox, can record actions & playback.

    Selenium RC + C#/Python/Java/Ruby – can programmatically control/create tests.
